Oh come on now. DL pilots don't control your fate. You negotiate on your own behalf. Oil is high and making your 50 seaters inefficient. New hiring and fatigue rules have affected you too. None of that is because of mainline pilots. The legacies are more profitable due to fees and can buy RJs and farm them out to the lowest bidder. Your part of the industry is in turmoil, and if you don't like it, you can try something else. Don't blame people that don't have a say in the matter. Luckily there will be retirements, but it's starting to sound like you still won't be satisfied. Oh well. The high cost of training is pushing people away from starting careers, along with more UAV pilots at the military. There will be a shortage, which should be good for everyone here now. The union can only do so much. The companies themselves should be more concerned, and should be the ones offering scholarships.
